David (to the soldier): 13 Where is your home?
Soldier: I am the son of an alien living in Israel, an Amalekite. Therefore I am bound by some of the Israelite law.
David: 14 Weren’t you afraid to strike down the Eternal One’s anointed king knowing the law would require your death?
15 So David called for one of his soldiers to come forward and kill the Amalekite soldier, which he did.
